Modern electronic and computing systems have large numbers of subsystems, with potentially millions of gates and registers. As design complexity and integration increases, verification challenges compound leading to an unmanageable verification environment. Testing and verifying such electronic and computing systems quickly becomes difficult, impeding the design process. Efficient methodologies like the SystemVerilog based Verification Methodology Manual (VMM) define best practices and help guide verification engineers in the construction of reusable simulation components and environments. The VMM allows for additional functionality to be added through frameworks that have targeted register verification like the Register Abstraction Layer (RAL) from Synopsys, Mountain View, Calif.
